Chp3: The Darkness of The Soul

I.

"Kim I'm sorry ok."

Blinking back the tear Kim looked up towards the source of the voice. Standing in front of her was a red headed boy with the same green eyes as hers. The boy appeared to be about 3 years old and something inside Kim told her that this guess was correct. Something about the boy seemed familiar.

"Listen Kim I'm sorry I ruined your dolly. Just don't tell mommy ok?" The boy looked down to her a worried expression on his face.

"Why? She was mine!" Kim found herself feeling anger towards this boy. To her surprise she felt more like a passenger inside this person head then the actual person.

As the person looked down Kim could tell that the body she was in was not that much older then the boy. The young girl was wearing a blue dress while the boy was wearing matching blue shorts and shirt. Something Kim noticed and which caused her to worry.

The boy continued coughed slightly drawing her attention back to him. When he saw she was watching he quickly stuck his hand out. Within his grasp was an ordinary Barbie doll except for her hair. Instead of the usual factory job of attaching it this particular doll had a big blob of glue on its head with all the hair smashed into it.

Instead of feeling upset about this Kim felt joy. "My dolly!" The young girls hand reached out eagerly for her toy.

The boy seemed to smile with relief when she grabbed it and held it to her chest. "See I told you I could fix it."

Kim could feel a grin come across her face or to be more accurate the face of the girl that was holding the doll. She felt love directed towards the boy but noted a bit of jealousy mixed in there. Kim puzzled over this odd mix of emotions.

"Thanks."

"No problem sis. You know I'm always there to look out for you. Always."

Kim found herself staring into his green eyes. His deep green eyes which stared back at her unblinking. His green eyes which went on forever.

The pilot blinked turning back quickly when he heard the first scream. A quick look showed him that his red headed passenger was the source of the screams. She had managed to crawl into a little ball and was now sobbing hysterically her eyes still tightly shut. The pilot just shook his head.

"I'm not paid enough to deal with crazy heroes."

II.

KP watched annoyed as the young lieutenant fidgeted in front of him. He was not in the mood to deal with this fool. Not after that dream. He couldn't remember the details all he knew was the he had woke up afraid. Not a rational sort of fear where you could put a face on it. No this fear was much worse. It was the type of fear that you just felt deep down when everything about you screamed to run.

"Well Ms. Possible this is an interesting request." The young lieutenant looked up fidgeting again with his standard Air Force uniform. His short cut black hair was neatly combed but his blue eyes appeared blood shot from lack of sleep.

"It's not Ms. Possible!" KP was in no mood at the moment to deal with this again.

"Um...what?" The young lieutenant blinked looking uncertain about that last comment.

"I said it's not Ms. Possible ok!"

"Oh...I'm sorry. Well then Mrs. Stoppable I have..." The lieutenant jumped when KP slammed his fist down on the table. That had gone over the line.

"Listen carefully you damn idiot. I said it's not Ms. Possible ok. Its Mr. Possible or its Kevin got me!" KP sat back down looking into the confused expression of the man in front of him.

"Um...ok? Um...here the file you wanted." The young lieutenant quickly handed over the file deciding apparently not to press the issue.

"Thanks for understanding." KP had to admit he sounded pissed when he said that. Hopefully the other guy would pick up on it and leave him alone.

Looking through the folder KP quickly picked out the information he wanted. The folder contained detail satellite images of an Island with a convenient dead volcano in the center. He smirked a little at that still finding it amusing how all villains tended to build similar lairs as the others.

"Got me a ride?"

The man in front of him nodded and pointed outside. "Got a transport fueled up and ready. May I ask what this mission is about?"

KP considered blowing him off with this comment but decided to hell with it. "I'm just going to convince good old Monty to give me my body back."

The man blinked looking confused. "I thought that was your body?"

"Usual crazy villain stuff. Switched gender and memory change. So not the drama." KP smiled as he saw the man blink again.

"So you're saying you're really a guy and that whatever Monty used switched all our memories."

KP gave a nod hoping maybe someone would understand. The man sat back looking a little shock. Deciding that he had what he needed KP went to leave the room.

"Just something to consider for a second. Isn't it easier to change your memories instead of everyone else?"

KP blinked at that remark but decided not to respond. The man was an idiot anyway. After all who better to know who he was then himself.

As our young hero left he failed to notice the smile that came to the young lieutenant face.

III.

Ron was leaning back against the cherry tree behind him waiting for the old man in front of him to speak. The small oriental man though continued to sit in what was called the lotus position. His legs crossed in mediation he seemed to ignore the young man. Ron deciding that he had to speak first opened his mouth.

"You seek permission or advice Stoppable-san?" The old man never opened his eye continue to mediate in that position.

"Permission sensei. I've already decided my course."

"Why do you seek permission young Master. It is yours to use not mine."

"I have given my oath Sensei."

"Your oath is to keep your training a secret. What you do with your training is up to you Stoppable-san. What is it you seek?"

Ron pondered that for a second and then stared at the old man. "I seek to help Kim. I have no other objective."

"You lie to yourself Stoppable-san."

"Sensei?"

"Your heart betrays your true intentions. You wish to remain in Possible-san heart do you not?"

"Of course!"

"What is it's in her best interest if you leave her."

Ron looked at his teacher for a second before answering. "I will leave her then. I care too much about her to endanger her for my own needs."

"Again you lie Stoppable-san."

Ron growled at that comment. "How so?"

"As long as you two still have hope of being together then you will not leave her. Even if you must risk both of your lives."

"I would never risk Kim life for something like that."

The old man finally opened his eyes staring at the young man. He sighed and shook his head sadly. "You continue to deny your emotions hiding behind false shame. There is no shame in admitting that you will do anything to be with someone. It is the way of life Stoppable-san. Some day you will understand that."

"Perhaps. I fail to see what this has to do with our conversation."

"It has everything to do with it and nothing young Stoppable-san. You are the master of your own fate and fate is the master of you. Always remember that."

"Exactly what does that mean?"

"In this case it is not important. Again something to ponder when you have time. Instead I will give you advice since I can not give you permission."

"Alright shoot."

The old man stood up slowly walking towards the young man. He stopped a few feet away and suddenly pulled a sword out.

"Stoppable-san what is the purpose of a sword?"

"To protect sensei."

"That my young student is the answer you want to give. The truth you refuse to see is that this weapon is designed to kill. Its purpose Stoppable-san is to kill. It has no other purpose in life."

"Ok. What does this have to do with me?"

"You are the sword Stoppable-san."

"I hardly think my only purpose is to kill Sensei."

The old man looked sadly towards his younger. "A warrior trains to kill. His duty is to kill. Anyone who says otherwise young one is only deluding themselves. A warrior who refuses to kill is only a child playing at children games. Like it or not Stoppable-san you are a warrior and this is not a children game."

"You're saying all I can do is kill?"

"No my student. Just like a sword can be directed so can you. Remember to control yourself but always remember your true purpose. When you fight there is always the possibility that you will have to kill."

"I don't kill Sensei."

"Wrong Stoppable-san you have yet to kill. You will kill some day just as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow. That is your fate. Only you can decide though how you will fulfill that fate."

"I see. Thank you for your advice."

"May you go in peace Stoppable-san?"

With that Ron opened his eyes from the mediation. The first thing he saw was Rufus sniffing his face. Ron pulled back with a cry.

"Rufus, buddy don't scare me like that." Ron heard the mole rat squeaked out a 'sorry' before it ran back to his shoulder. Smiling Ron reached back and scratched his friend's neck.

Looking to his side he could see the Air Force lieutenant assigned to help him on his mission. The man was young probably no more then 24. His black hair was wind ruffled and his blue eyes stared at the wall in front of him. The man was humming a tune despite their current situation.

"How long before the plan reaches where Kim is?" Ron stood up looking towards the man.

Blinking the young man rubbed the back of his head and shrugged. "About another hour I'd say. She not that far ahead of us. Why?"

"I'm just worried ok."

"I see. Care to tell me what's up with Ms. Possible."

Ron just looked back before taking his sit again. He was not in the mood to talk about this.

IV.

KP decided to do the direct approach. He was in no mood to be subtle with Monkey Fist this time around so he just decided to walk right in. Seeing the English gentle man sitting there he smiled to himself.

"Cut the security budget Monty?" The red head smirked as he watched the English lord turn around in shock.

"Kim Possible! How did you get here?"

"Its Kevin and you know that. Now I don't want to waste time so just change me back ok."

Monkey Fist just frowned at that last comment and started to scratch his head with his foot. "What do you mean change you back?"

"Change me back into a boy Monty. I know you can."

"So you want to be a boy Ms. Possible. Well let me just say this. MONKEY NINJAS ATTACK!" Monty stepped back a grin on his face as his minions stepped forward.

KP did not want to deal with this at the moment so he decided to do the direct approach. Pulling a combat knife out of his belt he caught the slashed at the first ninja slicing its throat open as it leaped at him. With a quick kick he knocked another one aside and spun forward. A quick plunge off his knife killed a third ninja and a stomping of his foot finished off the one he had previously kicked.

"Retreat!" KP had to smile as the ninjas backed off in shock as Monty stood there his face white.

"You killed my Monkeys." Monty actually looked upset as he looked at back at him.

"Tell me where the weird statue is Monty or I'll kill you too. Got me."

Monty looked for a long time and then cracked a smile. "Fine. I'll allow it to finish you off. Just walk into that room back there. You'll have to excuse me though. I won't be sticking around."

KP watched amuse as Monty beaconed his ninjas to him and left. Shaking his head and wondering why that had been so easy he made his way towards the room.

"Kim!" KP froze his heart leaping up to his throat. Weird emotions started to come to the surface. Turning he saw the young blond standing at the entrance panting from the exertion.

"Ron?"

To be continued...

Author Notes: Well quick release here. Just felt like getting this chapter out. Got only a couple more left till the end. I did say after all this was going to be short story.

By the way I left a few clues as to what's going on. Try to piece them together. I personally always enjoy doing that in a story.

Me: First off interesting name there. Second this story is unique to KP I think but it has similarities to series I have watched in the past. It's a unique take even on them though and for the life of me I can't figure out any show that has done this before. If I can I'll post it up for you guys to check out.

Happyendingmaybe: Can't wait...your not going to kill me and replace me with a robot are you? I'm writing as fast as I can honest.

Momike: This story odd? I don't see it.

JMAN2.0: Yes what did Mr. DR. P say? Wait to find out about that one. Anyway this will probably go for another two chapters with an epilogue possible if I decide to do one. Just to address a few points. First this story will hopefully make sense soon. If I wrote this right then a few confusing points earlier will suddenly fit right in. As for Kevin he's not really a jerk. My bad for showing him as one he's just a little pissed off. Just as Tara about how nice Kevin can be. She gives me rave reviews about him.

Ace Ian Combat: Updated!

Anyway as always read and review. I enjoy reading your reviews after all. I'm trying to become a better writer and get up to the level of some of the really good writers I see on this site. Don't know if I will but it'll be a fun ride while it last. By the way you notice how I like cliff hangers. Yes I am evil.

Just a quick disclaimer: Any comments in the author notes are not always to be taken seriously. You're not going to figure the story out from reading what I write here. I enjoy joking around too much. Also while I'm at it I'll keep myself from being sued again. Disney owns KP. Disney also should learn 65 is a bad policy. Milk that cow for all its worth I say!

Another helpfully hint: Series this is sort of based on is a comedy. Blond girl thinks she's a guy. Surrounded by guys who want to 'cough' be her friend 'cough'. Has a wacky wish granting jester. There that should give it away now.
